    I'm coming to a conclusion that
    I'm a compulsive gambler. I keep looking at the clock and can't wait till first pitch. I do ok I don't bet heavy but I just noticed that I can't stop looking at scores or lines.

        The max bet I make is $50. It's not affecting me financially but it's taking over my life. I look at my phone for scores, check sbr and watch sports. Need to slow down.

          You don't have to bet heavy to lose your ass. It sounds like you need to take some time off. If you are that itchy then I am guessing that you find the earliest game to bet and that keeps going until the last game of the day. Which also means you bet numerous bets that by the end equals a large portion of your bankroll.

              37. Normal plays are $20-25. Not trying to get rich lol. But it's just consuming my time. Like I'm feigning for the game to start. I have Oakland, Brewers, kc and Astros today. I want time to go faster lol. I'm addicted.

                  If you aren't trying to get rich then that's a bigger problem. I suggest make larger bets on fewer teams...pick a few go to teams and make sure you bet them and them only. Teams that have good records in MLB or are great at ATS in football or Basketball. Select those teams every time and you should be good.

                    I just came back from the Philippines on a surf trip. They had a casino with a sports book. Needless to say I spent a few hrs there every morning to placeplace bets.

                              Not married, love the puss. I'm enjoying my life. Make 110 a year. I do ok. Only thing that gets my mind off gambling is puss and surfing. Maybe I need to move somewhere that has more consistent surf. NJ is too flat.

                                  $110k per year and you're only betting $25 per game, sounds to me like you have excellent self-control, nothing wrong with losing $25 bets when you have that much money

                                    Malibu, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach are your best bets

                                          I'm going to start looking around. I love living in NJ. An hr from ac, three hrs from the mountains to snowboarding in the winter, I live 2 mins away from the beach. I wish NJ had more consistent surf. But now I find myself refreshing my phone for scores and I'm not even betting huge amount of money.

                                            Making 6 figures and sweating $25 bets? You do have a problem.

                                              Not sweating the bets I guess I'm just addicted to the action. Just the thrill of winningwinning or losing. I agree I do have a problem.

                                                Give it 3 - 5 more years, and you won't care about gambling. If you still think that you will, then stop gambling right now.

                                                      Only people who'd believe that would also vote for Trump..

                                                          Believe what you want. I play around 2-4 games per day. I look at it this way if I loose all 4 that's around 140. I can't afford to loose 140 per day.

                                                            I'm not in this club for sure. With this type of income, I'd deposit like $10K - 15K to make $50K out of it: the amount that would make some difference in my life. Otherwise, why waste time.
